***********************************

As I sat at the airport that morning,waiting patiently for my flight to be announced,I took a look at the event of the last two weeks.

I had remained indoors after Rose had shamefully left. I didn't even know when the others left. I only got busy with my laptop,always expecting emails from the university

The mail finally arrived on Friday morning. I was about going to shower when it came in. I was so excited that I placed a call to mum immediately. She was also happy,telling me what to do in anticipation for my journey. I started packing my stuffs immediately. I choose to go to the bank that day. I got the money mum had given me transfered into a new account,withdrew the amount I needed for a little shopping, stopped at a supermarket and got all the things I thought I needed before going back home.

The house was extremely quiet when I arrived so I just stole in the things I had bought. I continued my packing till I eventually got tired, had my dinner in my room and went to bed.

Saturday morning,I left for the embassy like mum had advised. I showed them my admission letter and after series of questions,they booked a flight for me on Tuesday morning.
I got my flight ticket and left for home in the mid afternoon.
While I drove in,I met Gospel about leaving the house. Before I could finish parking the car,he was already waiting for me to get down.

Gospel: Hi.

Me: Good day.

Gospel: What's up? Earlier this week,you've refused to be seen and now,you're going in and out. Tell me,are we celebrating anything soon?

I smiled and locked the car.

Me: Of course. But mum will be the one to tell you that.

Gospel: You no longer go to school. Why?

Me: Cause I gave myself a break. Besides,you don't think it's easy for me to come to terms with the fact that my companion just left.

Gospel: Hmmm. I get.

Me: You going out?

Gospel: Yeah. Want to get one or two things.

Me: Alright. See you then.

I walked into the house with my handbag and began to recheck my stuffs.

Now,I was ready to travel and begin a new life.

On Monday evening,I decided to join. the guys for dinner. The girls had sent my food upstairs but I asked them to take it down. I walked down the stairs with my heart beating fast.

Ken: You decided to join us,thank God for that.

I smiled and Gospel peered at me.

Gospel: This girl is up to something. She acts weird this days. Or is it the absence of Kamsi? We both feel same way too

Ken: I think it's more than that. I just can't place my hand on it

Me: You both should just quit gossiping about me in my own presence and eat. Not because mum isn't around.

They laughed and we settled down to our food. After eating,I took away the plates and quickly went outside to inform the gateman that he'll be taking me to the airport as early as 5:30am tomorrow. He was confused and I pleaded with him to keep it confidential.

That night,I parked my things into the car I intended to use in order to make my departure unnoticeable to the two brothers. I was leaving the Kalu's residence for good and I know it is far more better than the way I had left the Okoyes'.

My flight was scheduled for 8:00 but I was at the airport as early as 6:30. I got a room where I intended to get an hour sleep but sleep wouldn't come. I hadn't closed my eyes one bit last night and I knew it was going to affect me.

Exactly one hour later,I'm now here,waiting for my flight to be announced. It came just as I looked at my wristwatch the 100th time that morning.

As I walked out of the departure door,a single tear dropped from my eyes as I thought about Ken and Gospel. I had left them in the dark and they wouldn't forgive me for that.

I found my seat and sat down,bent my head and let my tears flow.

Ken: Excuse me ma'am,you should be sitting this side.

I looked up and behold,it was Ken. My tongue suddenly went dry. He lowered himself beside me and shook his head.

Ken: Why are you crying? Since you think you're doing the right thing?

I bent my head again and wept audibly.

Ken: I knew something was wrong. I knew it,so I followed you,I monitored all your movements,I knew everything you did,all the calls you made,even your admission. Why did you choose to do that to me? You know how much I love you and you chose to walk out of my life when I needed you most.

Me: I had to,I had to do it. There was Gospel and then you. What was I supposed to do?

Ken: Gospel will be going back to owerri today do you know that?

I shook my head in the negative.

Ken: I told him and he asked me to follow you. Reject me again and I'll scream loud and clear for everyone to know how badly you've been treating me.

Me: Ken please. I have to go.

Ken: I'm not stopping you from going. I'm following you. I'm actually in this flight. We're going together.

Me: What?

Ken: Yes.

The fasten your seatbelt announcement came immediately and we did that. I still looked on in surprise.
Immediately we took off,he held my hand and I turned to him

Ken: Don't love me and I'll keep on following you till I die.

Me: Ken?

Ken: We'll meet mum,she'll give us her blessings.

He hugged me and I cried in his arms. He cuddled me like life depended on it and I felt safe in his hands.

Ken: Remember I had promised you,I'll never leave you alone. We're in this together and that's how it'll remain.





And so it came to pass,five years later,I've graduated from university and is now a certified medical doctor,returning home for my traditional and white wedding.
As I walked into the arrival of the airport,the faces I saw were all faces of people I had loved and will always love.

Ken was with a billboard with the inscription "Mrs Kalu" on it.

Gospel: Was holding a pregnant Nenye. They had wedded the previous year and I had seen their pictures.

Mum: Still looking young and full of life.

Ted: All smiles with a child that looked just like him

Kamsi: Heavily pregnant with face full of smiles.

We all went into a long embrace,each trying to say something against the other playfully.
On our way home in the sienna,I got a text message on my phone,

"we'll never leave you alone. didn't I promise?"

It was Ken who was sitting behind me. I looked at him and smiled.

I had a loving family and a lovely fiance who would be my husband tomorrow. I've got a fulfilled life and I'm happy I never ended up ALONE.....






It doesn't matter what life throws at you. Pick it up and make something good out of it. All bitter stories don't always end sorrowfully the same way all beautifully stories never end happily. There's a light at the end of every tunnel the same way every dark cloud has a silver lining.
Your story today may be a lesson to someone else tomorrow so take life suffry and never regret any second of it.





Thank you all for sharing in my story. I love you all to the moon and back to earth especially everyone of you who supported the growth of this story,who invited friends to the thread,who shared the links,and those who read and refused to acknowledge it. I love you all.

PamelB:
We were at the hospital. I was pacing around the reception. Mummy and Nenye were sitting down. Both of them were crying. My prayer was for nothing to happen to Emeka. I looked at my wristwatch, 7:45pm. The same day we came back from the village,how could things go wrong like this? I heard some footsteps and I turned around to see the doctor walk into the waiting room. We rushed to him but I stood behind mummy. The doctor's face wasn't encouraging at all.

Mum: Doctor,how is my son please?

The doctor shook his head.

Doctor: Its terrible madam. His condition is very critical. I don't know if he'll survive this.

Mum: No doctor. Please do anything. Do something please.

Doctor: We'll try our best. For now,let's pray he survives.

I carried myself to a nearby chair as tears ran down my cheeks.

Mum: Doctor,he's my only son. Please do something to help him.

Doctor: Like I said,let's pray he survives.

Mum: Can we see him?

Doctor: Yes. Follow me.

We walked down the corridor into the private ward. We entered one of the numerous rooms and there was my brother,lying stiff with closed eyes,bandages on his head,his face obvious he was in pains. Some nurses were attending to him. I moved forward and went beside the bed. The nurses and doctor left us. I touched his head and my tears fell on his chest.

Me: Emy nothing will happen to you. God won't let anything happen to you.

I looked at mummy and Nenye and they were both crying. What hatred would do to someone. Look how Emeka is suffering because of his own mother. I hated her that instant. She noticed the way I was looking at her and she left the room. Nenye came closer and sat on a chair close to the bed.

Nenye: Ejimam(my twin),please open your eyes. Please fight this thing. Mummy is sorry. She didn't mean to harm you. Open your eyes please.

None of the words we said got him to open his eyes. Nenye left the room crying. I went to the chair she had earlier occupied and sat down. I wondered if he was still alive. If he could hear us after all. If there was a better word to qualify my feelings at that moment,I would have explained how I felt,watching my saviour lying helplessly on that bed. What caused all this? Food right? I hated mummy that moment. I was still lost in my thought when I fell asleep.


I was hearing my name in whispers. Who could be calling my name in that manner? I opened my eyes and looked around. Memories of what happened came to me immediately. I heard that faint whisper again and I looked at Emeka,his eyes were open just a little. I looked at him to be sure he was the one whispering my name. His lips moved and that whisper came again.

Me: Emeka, you're awake. Oh! Thank you Jesus.

The wall clock took that instant to sing its 12:00 hymn. I looked at the clock and it was strange. It wasn't here earlier when we came into this room.

I looked at Emeka and he was smiling. The bandages on his head was gone.

Emeka: Sisim,I'm healed. I'm well now.

I was confused. What's going on. He was just whispering my name some seconds ago and now,he's fit. I looked around and this was no longer the hospital room.

Me: Where is this place? We're supposed to be at the hospital.

Emeka: Yes,I know. Its only those who are sick that need the doctors and hospitals. I'm here because I'm not sick. Sit down let me talk to you.

I sat down,not removing my eyes from him. His smile was constant now,like it was a permanent birthmark.

Emeka: Nothing happens without a reason. I'm here today is because that is how God wrote it in my destiny. Don't live in fear of anybody because you're the light shining in our family. You're a great girl sis and nobody can ever take away your light.

I smiled. He always knew how to praise me and he used every opportunity he had to do that.

Emeka: You'll go to school. I may no longer be there to support you but trust me,you'll go to school. No matter the school it is,just put in your best to it,something good will come out of it. Another thing,don't fight them. Please don't. They'll find every reason to taunt you but just don't fight them. You're a great girl and you'll go places.

Me: But.........

Emeka: Wait for me. Daddy is calling me.

Before I could say anything else,he walked away. I decided to wait for him on that chair. I relaxed on it and closed my eyes.

Some minutes into my sleep,I felt the urge to ease myself. I opened my eyes and I was back in the hospital. That was when it became clear to me that I've being dreaming. A look at my wristwatch told me it was twenty minuted past 12. I shrugged my shoulders and went into the toilet. I did my business and came out. I looked at Emeka and he was breathing heavily,like it was difficult to get the air out of his lungs. I rushed to him but I didn't know what to do. I ran out to the waiting room to call the nurses there. I also woke mummy up,she was sleeping at the waiting room.

Me: Please help me nurse. My brother is breathing heavily.

What I said got mummy standing up immediately,waking Nenye whose head was on her laps. We all rushed back into the room and this time,the tears ran down on there own. Emeka was throwing his arms around,like he was struggling with something. His eyes were now open but he was still breathing heavily. The nurse ran out to call the doctor while mummy went and sat on the bed and carried Emeka on her laps. His struggle didn't stop. He fought whatever it was. He fought with his strength, not taking his eyes away from me. Suddenly,he stopped struggling. A tear ran down to his ear. I saw his chest go up and with a loud grunt,it fell back heavily,his eyes still on me,but he was no longer breathing.

I went closer and mummy shook him. My throat suddenly went dry and I couldn't speak. The doctor came in that minute,he asked mum to leave him alone. Mum stood up and Emeka's body fell back on the bed. The doctor straightened him up,ran his fingers in some areas of his body while the nurse wrong down something in a file. I watched as the doctor used a sheet to cover him entirely and Nenye started wailingThe doctor turned around and the next thing he said after looking at his wristwatch was;"time of death,12:30am."

I passed out.

So touching..... Keep it up
